What's changing for teachers in the reimagined Khan Academy experience?
Khan Academy is being reimagined for classrooms to offer a more streamlined and engaging learning experience. As mentioned in this blog post these updates were piloted in schools, and designed with direct input from teachers to better support instruction, reporting, and student motivation. We are excited to get you started on the reimagined Khan Academy!
This article highlights the key changes to the teacher experience and how to adjust your classroom routines accordingly. If you would like a video demo instead, check out this Youtube video!

- All teachers across the globe will have access in early 2027
What will happen to my and my students’ existing Khan Academy accounts?
